State-of-the-Art 3D Printing Services
Very Competitive Pricing. 1st Class Customer Service.
We build high surface quality, strong parts that make your design a reality within hours. Medical devices, anatomical models, mold inserts, tooling fixtures, master patterns, and architectural models are just a few of the types of parts we fabricate. We work with you to determine the best 3D printing technology for your application, while balancing strength, accuracy, finish, and cost. In some cases, our clients first look for a low-cost, first iteration for a simple proof-of-concept or a fit check. We can also employ technologies which provide greater strength and/or higher accuracy and/or better surface finish, all in accordance with our clients’ needs (after a first iteration or from the outset). Need to embed a threaded fastener or an electronic board inside your part? We do that. Looking for the strength of composites? We can embed continuous carbon fiber to achieve strength-to-weight ratios that exceed 6061 aluminum. Want to embed Kevlar or fiberglass instead? No problem.
